Hmm, that doesn't seem right. I earned the hat before it was December 21 either in Stack Overflow's UTC time or in my local time. It wasn't even December 21 in UTC time when you posted this answer.

All I can provide by way of backup is that I was just awarded this, on a site where my profile showed no activity of any kind on my part in the last week. So at the least it has to be something that isn't logged on the user profile page.
